Breakdowns is a collection of underground comic strips by cartoonist Art Spiegelman. All the strips were done prior to when Spiegelman started planning his Pulitzer prize-winning Maus, but included a three-page strip called "Maus" (originally published in Robert Crumb's one-shot Funny Aminals) which presaged the graphic novel, as well as "Prisoner on the Hell Planet" which was also reproduced in the pages of Maus.
It was originally published in 1977 by Belier Press as Breakdowns: From Maus to Now, collecting strips that had appeared between 1972 and 1977 in various underground publications, including Arcade, which Spiegelman had co-edited. It was republished by in an expanded edition Pantheon Books in 2008 and retitled Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, with a new introductory comic and long afterward from which nearly doubles the length of the original book.[1]
